India Lured Into Ratifying UN Global Warming Deal With Tons Of Cash

India received $500 million in funding for solar panels to ratify the United Nations’ Paris agreement on global warming, according to an anonymous lender who spoke to United Press International (UPI).

India’s new cash infusion came from the Asian Development Bank, but it wasn’t exactly unexpected. Under the terms of the agreement, wealthier nations like America are expected to help finance the development of solar power in poor developing nations like India.

India’s government is also currently wasting huge amounts of solar power because the panels are too expensive to operate, according to a letter from the country’s green energy ministry. The waste is caused due to the inherently inefficient nature of solar power, which doesn’t coincide with times of day when power is most needed. This poses an enormous safety challenge to grid operators and makes power grids vastly more fragile.
